9 Types of Coenzymes

functions in the complementary reduction reaction of an oxidation reaction

also functions in the oxidation of alcohol

3) Flavin Mononucleotide (Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide="FAD")

vitamin B2

involved in redox reactions

assists succinate dehydrogenase turn succinate into fumarate

4) Thiamine

vitamin B1

allows reactions to start

connects glycolysis to kreb cycle

has an acidic carbon which is very rare

5) Coenzyme A

vitamin B3

has sulfur group and an ADP

ex. acetyl CoA

6) Biotin

involved in carboxylation reactions (ex. pyruvate --> oxaloacetate)

7) S-Adenocyl Methionine

methylating agent (methylates phospholipids)

8) tetrahydrofolate (folic acid)

involved in 1 carbon reactions

not really all that important... (that's what he said!)

9) Cobalamine

vitamin B12

involved in complex rearrangements

he said this wasn't super important either...
